II Premier Appoints MLA Theresa Oswald to Chair Group on Fitness and Health

Premier Gary Doer today appointed Seine River MLA Theresa Oswald to
chair an all-party task force that will tour the province asking
Manitobans to provide their views on how to keep children and youth
active and healthy now and into their adult lives.

The Healthy Kids, Healthy Futures Task Force will hold a series of
public hearings throughout Manitoba starting this fall in urban, rural,
northern and Aboriginal communities and schools to examine issues of
physical activity and nutrition including
*  determining what current community, in-school and government
initiatives on activity and nutrition best serve the needs of Manitoba
youth;
* exploring the barriers that keep young people from leading active,
healthy lives; and
* providing a forum where Manitobans can share ideas on how to tackle
the important issues of childhood nutrition and activity.
